You could not write a more prefect explanation of everything wrong with those advising Labor than this tweet. Not sure how you get to such a point in life, but please may I never be there.

Dear AUS PM @albomp.bsky.social cc @senatorwong.bsky.social Reasons I won't vote (and will actively campaign against) Labor: • support for US bombing Iran • supporting Israel's #GazaGenocide • pro-fossil fuels • pro-gambling • anti-environment • failure to protect Indigenous sites 😢 #auspol

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

You don't understand! The ALP government has to support Israeli genocide, US war crimes, the destruction of the rule of law, and the north west gas shelf, because it only has a 51 seat lead on the Coalition. Something something Murdoch. They're really progressive, I swear.

So we support illegally bombing Iran because without evidence & contrary to what US intelligence is saying, they might be developing a nuclear weapon While it’s totally Okay for Israel to have as many Nuclear weapons as they like & we won’t even ask how that’s fair or reasonable.

Dear PM @albomp.bsky.social cc @senatorwong.bsky.social Appalled that an Australian Labor Govt supports the USA's illegal bombing of Iran. Your refusal to condemn Israel's ongoing #GazaGenocide is also deeply shameful. You've made Australia complicit in these crimes. 😔 #auspol #USA #Israel #Iran

It’s almost 2yrs since the day Commissioner Catherine Holmes handed down her final report on Robodebt & referred those responsible for criminal prosecution. It was a day we felt like finally something was happening. I’m so sorry to all victims who are STILL waiting for justice.

Paul Keating re #AUKUS: "the calling of the Pentagon review should be the catalyst for the government to get on with the job of forging a relevant, distinctly Australian path for the country’s national security, rather than being dragged along on the coat-tails of a fading Atlantic empire."

Someone please tell the fossil fuel loving recalcitrants in the LNP and Labor; like Murray Watt, Roger Cook, Anthony Albanese… We cannot afford more toxic, climate destroying fossil methane gas and coal. Stop the madness. Renewables are the cooler, safer, cheaper future.

If you missed 4Corners, the Liberal Party has admitted that their cruel and toxic No campaign against the Indigenous Voice which set reconciliation back a generation was aimed at beating the Albanese govt in the election. We all knew that, but it’s fascinating to hear them admit it out loud!
